I was born and raised in Ethiopian. It is a beautiful country with a rich history and cultural tradition; I enjoyed growing up there. However, I observed the devastating impact of droughts and famine on my homeland. In response I have co-founded the AAP with the purpose of bringing modern dry farming to a famine plagued area to increase crop production using modern irrigation and more drought resistant crops as opposed to only cultivating traditional crops in the rainy season.
